Overview
Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve, Malawi's largest and oldest at 1,802 km², dates back to 1954. Managed by African Parks since 2015, it offers diverse landscapes and activities like fishing, canoeing, and rafting. Once ravaged by poaching, the reserve now thrives after relocating 500+ elephants and other species. Enjoy catch-and-release fishing on the Bua River, elephant sightings on boat trips, guided safaris, and hiking to Chipata Mountain's summit. Stay at Bua River Lodge, Tongole Wilderness Lodge, Kachenga Bush Camp, or Rafiki Safari Camp, engaging in local community projects. Experience conservation efforts firsthand at Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve.
